چکیده
In this paper, we study both the continuous model and the discrete model of the Quantum Hall Effect (QHE) on the hyperbolic plane. The Hall conductivity is identified as a geometric invariant associated to an imprimitivity algebra of observables. We define a twisted analogue of the Kasparov map, which enables us to use the pairing between K-theory and cyclic cohomology theory, to identify this geometric invariant with a topological index, thereby proving the integrality of the Hall conductivity in this case.

Hall angle in high-T c cuprates: Anomalous temperature dependence and anisotropic scattering Abstract. The anisotropy of the scattering rates, 1/τ tr ∝ T and 1/τ H ∝ T 2 , implied effectively by the anomalous temperature dependence of the normal-state in-plane Hall angle, cot θ ∝ T 2 , observed in the high-T c lay-ered cuprates is reasoned out to be a natural consequence of the semiclassical Bo...
متن کاملQuantum Hall Effect on the Hyperbolic Plane in the Presence of Disorder
We study both the continuous model and the discrete model of the quantum Hall effect (QHE) on the hyperbolic plane in the presence of disorder, extending the results of an earlier paper [CHMM]. Here we model impurities, that is we consider the effect of a random or almost periodic potential as opposed to just periodic potentials. The Hall conductance is identified as a geometric invariant assoc...

We discuss the relation between the Quantum Hall behaviour of charged carriers and their chaotic motion in phase space. It is shown that the quantum Hall diagram is comparable with the stepped diagram in phase space of a chaotic motion.
متن کاملQuantum Hall Effect and Noncommutative Geometry
Abstract. We study magnetic Schrödinger operators with random or almost periodic electric potentials on the hyperbolic plane, motivated by the quantum Hall effect (QHE) in which the hyperbolic geometry provides an effective Hamiltonian. In addition we add some refinements to earlier results. We derive an analogue of the Connes-Kubo formula for the Hall conductance via the quantum adiabatic theo...
متن کاملLandau quantum systems: an approach based on symmetry
We show that the Landau quantum systems (or integer quantum Hall effect systems) in a plane, sphere or a hyperboloid, can be explained in a complete meaningful way from grouptheoretical considerations concerning the symmetry group of the corresponding configuration space. The crucial point in our development is the role played by locality and its appropriate mathematical framework, the fiber bu...
